HELOC tightening, starting with RBC tomorrow

HELOC 房地产净资产抵押贷款开始收紧
RBC "Home line" line of credit 明日起 从80%借贷比例减至65%。
($500,000房,原本可借出最多$400,000 LOC, 明日起最多只能借出$325,000 LOC)

BMO "ReadiLine" line of credit 可能月底跟进。
其他各大银行可能在近期跟进。
这对加国零售业,就业率等等将造成负面影响。

  2. nope, existing heloc's won't be affected.
    under the new rules, you can still borrow at 80% LTV under the "home line" umbrella, just that 65% max on LOC (ie. can be interest-only), and 15% max on mortgage (ie. principle+interest)
